Top rated Elwyn house sitters
“Kai and Devon did a great job with Sadie. She was relaxed and happy when I got home which is a sign that she enjoyed her night. Will definitely book them again!”

“Carol is absolutely wonderful! She gave our dog lots of exercise and so much love. We felt very comfortable going away leaving him with her. Highly recommend her as a dog walker/sitter/anything you need!!”

“Paz did a wonderful job sitting my dog at my house while I was away. She texted me with photos about twice a day, and asked me some questions that she wanted to know. I already booked her for another trip I'm going on this winter. I have no complaints at all about her care for my dog.”

“Kristen took great care of our two dogs for four days while we were out of town. She was punctual, courteous, communicative, and took excellent care of our home as well. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to having her watch our two pups again in the future.”

“Maia is a rare find. After meeting her, we could tell immediately that she has incredible energy, great intuition, solid judgment and a vast knowledge base involving dogs. She walked our two pups for us several times before we went away for 9 days, leaving her to live at our home and care for our babies. She has always been responsive, responsible and professional. While we were away she was communicative and send regular photo updates. We were out of touch for a week while cruising and unfortunately one of our dogs decided to snack on her clothing (we reimbursed her but she handled that loss with grace). She had to make a tough judgment call and after contacting our regular vet, took him to an emergency clinic. We are so grateful that she didn’t take any risks and was so thorough in caring for him. As she couldn’t get in touch with us, she fronted the heafty medical bill on her own credit card without question. All turned out to be well and it was worth the vet bills to have that kind of peace of mind. She told us she made the same call she would have made for her own fur-baby. Another fiasco happened when our returning flight was delayed and Maia was an absolute angel and immediately agreed to stay an extra 12 hours past her contracted time until we arrived back in Pittsburgh. I trust her completely after witnessing her rise to each of these challenges and meet them with flexibility and generosity. Our home was left in the same condition we left it and our dogs were safe and showed zero signs of stress upon our return. We will definitely continue to work with Maia in the future as long as she is available!”

“Roxanne gave us so much peace of mind when we had to leave our two older dogs for a week. One was having tummy issues and she made her special meals. She sent us multiple updates and pictures every day and our house was spotless when we returned. Will definitely use Roxanne again!”

“Matt did a great job of taking care of our two dogs for an extended vacation, one of our dogs being a 5 month old puppy. We would recommend Matt for any future dog sitting.”

“Our dogs had a great time with Paige! She did great following their schedule and even took them on a walk. They loved snuggling up with her on the couch and we saw it in all the pictures! Definitely will book again!”

“Cara was great. Fast and easy communication. She came over for a meet and greet, and then had a nice overnight with my Marely. I will definitely be using Cara again”

“A++++! Mey was fantastic - very communicative and sent lots of photos. We feel very comfortable that our pup was well cared for, and that Mey was respectful of our home while she stayed there. Will definitely book again.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages since I was 18 years old! I’m a cat owner of 4 years myself as well, and my kitty is my very best friend. As far as sitting, I have done mostly done overnight stays, but I have done pop ins and walking as well. I’ve sat for small dogs and large, puppies, kittens and elderly pups. I absolutely love spending time around and caring for animals. I do work part time, usually averaging about 5 shifts a week. I make my own schedule biweekly, and my shifts are generally no more than 5-6 hours, so my hours are extremely flexible depending on when I’m needed! I am all for play, walking, and unlimited pets when I dog/cat sit. I will pay careful attention when it comes to letting them out if there is a fenced yard, as well as to their collar and leash prior to taking them out on walks. A pet owners directions are very important to me as far as feeding/potty/medication times, and I take the responsibility of caring for any animal very seriously.
“Lisa is a reliable sitter and excellent communicator who watched our two dogs for a week recently. We appreciated the regular text message updates and photos she provided along the way. We knew our dogs were in good hands. We look forward to hiring Lisa again in the future!”

About: I have been pet sitting throughout all four years of high school and now that I am in college, I am looking for a job doing something I love which is spending time with animals. Pet care fits into my schedule as I will be home from college for the summer and looking for something that is low stress and enjoyable to fill my time. I always make sure to treat clients animals as if they were my own and with love and care. I always want to also make sure that they are getting all of their needs met and I will go always do my best to go above and beyond to give joy to animals in any way possible.
“Angela was wonderful in every way possible. She was responsive to my communications with her. Her communication with me before and during the sit was excellent. She sent tons of pictures and it was clear that she treated my dogs as if they were her own. Can't recommend Angela enough!”

About: I was lucky to grow up surrounded by lovely furry friends. Ive just moved to Philly and looking to meet my new best furry friends. I’m currently working part time (remotely) so that allows me to be available almost every weekday from 7am to 3pm, I would need some heads-up but I can do past 3pm on some days Honestly I think that taking care of pets is the same as taking care of kids, we absolutely need to give our pets emotional support, feed and take care of their basic needs which I will be doing for your furry babies to keep them healthy and happy!
“Yahne is fantastic. She kept me up to date, was very detailed oriented, and left my home better than when I did! I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands! I highly recommend (but selfishly don’t want her to get too busy)! You won’t be disappointed!”

“Tara is an excellent pet sitter! We’re so happy we trusted her with our dog and cat over 4th of July weekend. She played with them and sent detailed updates. Upon return, our fur babies were happy and well taken care of.”
